In a move that may or may not be genius, Swedish subscription t-shirt company T-Post are giving anyone the opportunity to try their service free for one month. If you aren’t happy with it after you’ve gotten your free t-shirt in the mail and any reason you can cancel your subscription, no strings attached. I can’t see any details about it on their website yet (bearing in mind that this post was written ahead of time, I’m not sat at my PC at 6am on Saturday morning), so maybe you have to pay postage or something, but it’s certainly a brace tactic from T-Post, hopefully it will work out for them.
Sounds pretty good to me, anyone going to be taking up this offer?
Greenwashing, now there’s a tricky subject. I can’t remember the specifics of it, but you know how supermarkets always bug you about needing a carrier bag for your groceries because it’s bad for there to be lots of plastic bags on the planet? Well, they’re right, there’s no point wasting energy and raw materials when people already have lots of bags, but the amount of energy that goes into one plastic bag is equivalent to running my car for a couple of hundred yards, and I live 8 miles from a supermarket. Basically, don’t give me attitude when I need a bag because there are much bigger issues to worry about.
Quite a cool t-shirt from T-Post for their subscribers this month (it was made in collaboration with Threadless), if you subscribe to their service this month I think you will receive the shirt (I’m fairly sure that’s how they work, but it might be the case that you can no longer get the shirt and have to wait for the next mystery shirt to arrive at your door).
T-post is a wearable magazine. Subscribing to T-post is a lot like having a subscription to a magazine but instead of receiving magazines in your mailbox – you receive T-shirts. As a subscriber you receive a new t-shirt every five weeks based on a current news item. The topic is interpreted by select designers and the written story is printed on the inside.
Andy: Every few months T-Post send me an e-mail explaining who they are and what they do, and offering me another t-shirt to sample. I explain that I know who they are but they seem to suffer from some kind of e-mail amnesia, I guess they’re lucky I’m not that greedy and don’t take them up on their offer of a sample each time. However, they do make cool shirts and I haven’t written about them for a while so it’s entirely possible that some new HYA readers are unaware of this Swedish brand.
For those of you that were reading HYA back in the day, the answer to that question will be pretty obvious, but considering most of you weren’t around then (quite a few thousand of you, in fact), Sweden’s T-Post may be news to you. They’re a subscription based clothing company that base their designs on a news story and send you a fresh tee each month. That’s the short version, if you want a longer version that’s animated and cool (and in HD is your monitor has that capability) check out the video, which contains 1 use of the F-bomb, which your boss might not like, but I’m sure none of you read HYA at work anyway, you’re all good boys and girls.
It’s another year for Airside T-shirt Club and this time it’s our 10th anniversary. To celebrate we asked three of the most popular designers from our ten year history to join Fred Deakin in creating new t-shirts exclusively for T-shirt Club members. Fred is joined by Michael Gillette, Shoboshobo and Ian Stevenson and we’re really looking forward to see what they’ll come up with.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that doesn’t like Airside, granted, I don’t ask everyone I meet if they like Airside, but still, you get my point… they’re good. Also, at £99 for 4 tees over the year (plus an exclusive poster, and exclusive discount offers throughout the year), it’s fairly good value… y’know, for a British company.
If I sink will they drink? If I fly will they die? A chain link bridge of hands meet the eternal curse of wings. Ahhh, poetry, I may write thousands of words a week, but I will never truly understand you. This tee, counter-intuitively, is the offering from the January installment of Teetsy’s t-shirt of [...]
[This tee isn't part of Teetsy's Tee of the Month Club, it's this tee] Despite my rather casual attitude when it comes to what t-shirts people send me, I’d be way too much of a control freak if I were paying for the tees to let someone send something that I’d never even seen before. [...]
Clearly Social-T are trying to help me impress the ladies in my life (free t-shirts=love, right?), seeing as they’ve sent over this girlie sized version of their April ‘issue’. Since I covered their subscription model fairly extensively in my last review of Social-T it seems a little silly to go over the entire process again [...]
HYAs latest advertiser, Social T, sent a couple of tees over recently, which is great because it gave me a chance to make sure that I was still advertising a quality product, because I want you guys to trust the people that I let advertise on this site. I think it says a lot about [...]
Custom T-shirt Talk has a good roundup of the myriad of t-shirt subscription services. Y’know, the ones where you pay every month (or annually) and a t-shirt you’ve never seen before ends up at your door every month, sounds pretty crazy when you say it like that, but these services are pretty popular and can [...]
